"On the pitch he’s another option for us and he’s an option of quality. His physicality and his intelligence, the way he moves, the way he plays.

Paul Pogba has started United’s last two matches following his comeback from a hamstring injury but failed to complete 90 minutes in either game.

And Mourinho says the France midfielder cannot play for longer than 70 minutes.

He said: "Paul is still on this process where he cannot reach the fatigue limit, he cannot go more than 65 to 70 minutes because that’s when fatigue normally arrives and with so many matches consecutively we need to protect such an important player for us."
